I just wanted to spread the word about Life Coaching and what it can do to help just about anyone. No, not every coach is suited for every client but the right coach/client combination is such powerful tool.I hear different variations of the following questions and statements a lot: “What can a coach do for me?”, “I can’t afford to pay a coach!”, “What does SHE know that I don’t know?”, “I don’t need a stinkin’ Coach!” Ok, well I tossed the word “stinkin’” in there (smile) but I do know there are many people who could benefit from the power of coaching but feel they don’t need it.

Well hopefully the following can open some eyes to the magic of this wonderful tool!

Coaching is an effective process used to support individuals in creating something new for themselves. I work side by side with my clients coaching them by providing perspective and support for self-knowledge as they accomplish their business and personal goals.

I help women achieve balance and cultivate the tools necessary for them to evolve into a life filled with happiness and serenity. I believe all women have the tools they need inside to lead a more fulfilling life. I simply guide them along an empowering path that will awaken these tools, focus on their passion and ultimately lead them to a more fulfilled self. If you are ready to find your way to a more balanced you, I will be your guide.

Life coaches are great and act as your personal cheerleader. There are many benefits to having a Personal Life Coach and here are just a few. Coaching is a valuable process for people looking to:

• design life intentions that include both your business and personal goals.
• make meaningful personal changes that reduce stress and simplify your life.
• free up energy and other resources to attract what you want for your life now.
• enhance the quality of your communication and relationships
• work through a career or life transition
• achieve better work/life balance
• gain clarity, focus and direction

Coaching is also for those that are successful and growing entrepreneurs, where everything is going really well, and you would just appreciate a neutral sounding board who will give you straight-up honest feedback and on-going support.

Please visit me at Real Life Coaching. I would like to offer you a gift of a free sample session. There really is nothing like coaching. The best way to learn about it is to experience it for yourself! I would love to introduce you to the world of coaching in an absolutely free, ‘no strings attached’ sample session. If you are interested, simply e-mail me and we can set up an appointment.

As busy moms we all want to provide healthy meals for our families. But sometimes we get so overwhelmed that by the time we hit the kitchen, we’re too stressed to think about changing our habits for the better. Setting a goal is great, but without a plan of action, it’s not going to happen. A plan can help you to meet your goal of eating healthier and won’t overwhelm you.

The following are some tips to help you baby step your way to a healthier diet:

Get out of your rut. Many times, we all decide we can’t stick to an eating plan because it limits us to certain foods or cuts out entire food groups, like carbohydrates or dairy products. Many diets are set up this way, but eating healthy doesn’t mean you have to go on a restricted diet. There is so much variety among fruits, vegetables, whole grains and nuts. Try a new food like kefir or miso soup, or a new recipe from a healthy cookbook. You never know if you’ll find a new food you and your family will love.

Make it easier on yourself. Take advantage of cookbooks, ready to use foods, and meal planning options that you can find online to help you to create a plan that works for you. Don’t try to figure out what to cook for dinner when you’re starving, because your body will be crying out for sugar at that time. Be proactive and have a plan, and stock your pantry and fridge with healthier options.

Start with just one meal. Choosing one meal at a time to improve will help you stay focused and not feel overwhelmed. This does not mean you should eat junk or fast food the rest of the day, but focusing on one meal at a time can make the step to healthier eating a little easier. As an example, switch from cold breakfast cereals that may be high in sugars to a cooked whole grain like oatmeal, or even a yummy fruit salad for breakfast.

Taking each of these steps one at a time could really help to launch you onto a plan that will work for you. Remember it does not have to be difficult - and taking baby steps means the changes are more likely to stick!

Spring Allergy Symptoms in Children and What to Do About It

Spring has sprung and so has the pollen.  Seasonal allergies affect millions of children each year.  Find out the symptoms and what you can do to relieve them.

The substances that cause allergies are called allergens.  Allergens can be anything from pollen to molds and fungi to dust.  These allergens are carried through the air until they land on your child.  Pollen is the reproductive spores of plants.  Allergy symptoms can occur from the pollen of weeds, grasses, trees, and mold. 

Sensitivity to these allergies is what brings on the histamine response.  This is the body’s reaction to the allergens being present in the child’s system.  Allergens enter the body through the mouth, the eyes, and the nasal passages.  Your child may experience:  sneezing, itchy, watery eyes, nasal congestion, chest congestion, coughing, and/or sore throat.  A child suffering from allergies may display one or more of these symptoms at a time. 

Allergies are often confused with colds and therefore misdiagnosed.  Cold symptoms usually include fatigue, fever, and body aches.  If any of these symptoms are also present, then your child is probably not suffering from seasonal allergies.

Pediatricians can run tests to find out the exact type of allergen your child is allergic to.  Blood work can be done to ferret out the offending allergen.  More commonly a skin-prick test is performed.

The spin-prick test is not painful to the child.  It involves lightly scratching the skin with different types of allergens.  This test is usually done on the back.  If the skin becomes red and swollen in certain areas, the doctor can determine what allergen is attacking your child.

Once the allergen is identified, the doctor will come up with a course of treatment. Prescribing medication such as Singulair, Allegra, and Advair, will block the reactions in the body that cause allergy symptoms.  It will take a week or two for the medications to fully circulate throughout the body.

There are practical things that you can do at home to safeguard against allergies.  Keep windows closed.  A good breeze will fill your home with pollen from the outside.  Use the air conditioning in the spring and summer if it gets warm inside.

Take a bath at night during allergy season.  The water will wash off any pollen spores and other allergens accumulated during the day.  Also make sure to use allergen proof covers on mattresses and pillows.

Allergies are a nuisance, but they don’t have to ruin your life.  Follow a few guidelines to keep your home safe from offending allergens.  Take your child to the doctor to properly diagnose his/her allergy condition and receive treatment options.

The barbecue grill is a wonderful invention.  When the weather is warm, you can leave the stove altogether and head outdoors.  Here are a few ideas on how to prepare a complete meal for your family using only your barbeque grill.

The gas grill has many families grilling out several times a week.  Gas grills are convenient and affordable.  There are those that come with storage spaces and additional heating elements.

One way to cook a meal on your gas barbecue grill is to use grilling packets.  Grilling packets are constructed using aluminum foil.  With the creation of non-stick aluminum foil, using a grilling packet is healthier and easier than ever.

Grilling packets can be used for vegetables and other side dishes.  Slice and season the vegetables and lay them in the center of a piece of aluminum foil.  Fold the foil loosely over the center of the vegetables, creating a tent.  Make a double fold with the two ends to seal the top of the packet.  Fold each end inward to create a sealed double fold.  Be sure to use heavy foil to avoid tears when shifting the packets on the grill.

Meats can also be placed in packets.  Packets allow what’s inside to cook in its juices.  The circulating steam cooks the contents without drying them out.  Make sure to keep track of cooking times to avoid burning your food. 

Packets are a good idea when everyone wants the same thing but with slightly different touches.  In this instance, each packet becomes an individual serving.  Be sure to keep vegetables and raw meats separate to avoid cross-contamination.

Bread rolls wrapped in heavy foil can be warmed on the grill.  Set them on the warming rack.  It won’t take a long time so keep watch.

Gas barbecue grills with side burners add another element to the grilling experience.  Rice or beans can be cooked outdoors as well.  The saucepan should stay covered to avoid bugs or insects flying into the pot.  You can even boil white potatoes for a homemade mashed potato side dish.  I would suggest purchasing a grill with side burners.  The grill becomes more versatile.

Most grills offer an extra prep area on one side.  This space can be used to arrange the food as it comes off of the grill.  Each person can sit their plate there and have dinner served up with a smile.

Grilling is not the experience it once was.  Now, barbecue equipment is much more user friendly.  An entire meal (excluding dessert) can be prepared on the grill in less time than it would take in the house using a stove.  And, there is a good breeze blowing outside.
